South Africa 329/5 at the end of Day 1 of the 4th Test

How much can Bavuma and de Kock add? Will England get the quick wickets they need? Can the Proteas cross 400? All these questions will be answered on day two, so do join us again for that. Until then, stay safe and have fun.

The day ends as it began, with both teams evenly poised. South Africa looked set for a lot more when Cook and Amla were batting but England brought it back well, before the Proteas closed the day off without any further loss to keep the match evenly poised heading into day two.

Bavuma calmly sees off the last ball and South Africa end day one on 329/5, having scored at least 100 runs in each session. Cook and Amla both got centuries, but their dismissal in quick succession almost triggered a collapse but de Kock and Bavuma saw them home.

With 8 overs left in the day, South Africa are only 10 runs short of 300. The way Amla and Cook were batting, they looked well on course of a total in excess of 400. But they need to revise their targets now with the last recognised batting pair currently at the crease.
